The works of acclaimed British painter David Remfry, including portraits of the likes of Stella McCartney and Alan Cumming, will be part of a new exhibition at Lincoln’s Usher Gallery later this month.
Remfry, 80, studied at Hull College of Art in the late 50s and early 60s, rising through the art ranks to eventually mix in very well-known circles during his stint living at the Chelsea Hotel in New York. His years of experience will now be brought to the Usher Gallery on Danes Terrace in Lincoln, in the form of a free exhibition running from January 28 until May 1.The exhibition will celebrate scale, shade and movement in David’s world of watercolour, where he has continually pushed the envelope and challenged the norms of what to expect from art.
The coup of David Remfry in Lincoln is a large one, but also a full circle moment as he returns to the city where he received his honorary doctorate in 2007.
